Stefani, Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I certainly agree that Ndereba is not only one of the greatest marathoners of all time, but also one of the greatest runners of all time, which is why I included her on my list of The Best Runners of the Decade: http://www.runkarlarun.com/2009/12/23/the-best-runners-of-the-decade/ I look forward to seeing where her career takes her in the decade to come. Thank you for reading, Karla

Karla, All good choices and well deserving but I don’t see how you could have left out Catherine Ndereba who in the first decade of the 21st century was on the podium 19 of her 22 marathons! These accomplishments include: Only woman to win 4 Boston Marathons and 2 World Championship Gold, 1 WC silver, 2 Olympic silver medals and 2 Chicago marathon wins (including the one where she set the world record). She may not hold the fastest time right now but she certainly has the most consistent marathon record ever!
